Would you
recognize the signs of scoliosis — an abnormal curvature of the spine
— in your child, and if your child has the problem, how do you choose
among the many treatment options available?
Scoliosis
starts when you're young and lasts a lifetime, but early detection and
treatment can make a difference. Learn to recognize the outward signs of
abnormal curvature of the spine, so you can explore short- and long-term
treatment options and find the one that's best for you.
Dangerous
Curves: Understanding Scoliosis & Choosing a Treatment Option (by
Betty Dobson) provides concise information on detecting and treating
scoliosis, along with a first-hand perspective from the author, who underwent spinal surgery
in 1980.
Publication
is scheduled for June 2010, which marks the 30th anniversary of the
author's surgery and recovery.
